Growing up, I was always told to not eat boxed or canned foods if avoidable, and to never eat anything that has an ingredient list that contains words you either cannot pronounce, or have no idea what they truly are. In short, fresh veggies and meats are the way to go unless they're pumped with additives (this is mostly the problem in large grocery stores).

I refuse to believe that eating eggs every morning for breakfast causes, or otherwise increases the risk of diabetes. The more and more I see articles of this nature, the more and more I am convinced they're trying to confuse people into eating the wrong types of foods, in which actually cause harm in the long-term.

Big Pharma gotta eat bro.

Bingo.

It's the same with diets - the only thing one needs to do is eat less. You could have the shittiest food choices ever (though this is not something that I'd advise anyway) and still lose weight, because you're eating much smaller portions. Fact is, people are lazy and entitled and lie through their teeth, claim they're eating less but they're eating just as much as before, or they're drinking copious amounts of alcohol/drinks full of sugar - and then bitch because they're not losing weight, or they claim "it's all too hard!"

Back in "the day", when 'Murica was still pretty great, people were drinking booze and sugar and there was no obesity crisis. Then we switched to literally Jewish artificial sweeteners, HFCS, and promoted extra-hoppy beer as the most "masculine" beverage around.

While I'm loath to smoke, there is an odd association between smoking going down and obesity going up, on a society-wide scale.

Pretty much every smoker i see is an obeast. Like 90+% minimum. I associate cigarettes with lardasses. Physically active peopke typically dont put down 3 packs of camels per day.
